Answer:

12 times

Explanation:

Jesse is making a pitcher of fruit smoothies that contain 3 cups of orange juice.

Jesse measuring cup only holds 1/4 cup.

One time he can measure 1/4 of cup

Let us consider he measure n time of 1/4

Total measure of orange juice is
(n)/(4)


(n)/(4) must be equal to 3 cups of orange juice.


(n)/(4)=3


n=12

Hence, Jesse measures 12 times of cup.
